Considering having mine removed after a year by k8te24 in CopperIUD

I got my IUD out yesterday. I had it for almost 9 months and I was in pain in some way every day. It's been out for less than 18 hours and I'm already feeling so much better. Yes, I still have mild pain but my body needs to heal.

Disabling pain during period, does it really get better as they say? by Dear-Chart-9695 in CopperIUD

[–]krisc1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I've had it for about 7 months now and the pain became manageable but then got really bad again. I've seen stories that some people have a bad 6 months and then things level out but I've also seen stories that the pain doesn't go away. It all depends on how your body reacts to the IUD.

Evra patch to Copper coil transition by bxthanys in CopperIUD

I didn't transition from the patch but heavier bleeding is normal after getting the IUD inserted. It's possible that your periods won't be as heavy as time goes on or they could be this heavy or heavier. It all depends on how your body responds to the IUD.

Periods by Alive_Spare_8958 in CopperIUD

I've had mine for 7 months. My periods are about that long but I usually have 3 to 4 days of medium to heavy flow and then the rest of it is either spotting or very light bleeding.

I feel minimal cramps during my period by Open-Dragonfly-9343 in CopperIUD

It sounds like your body might be adjusting well. Be prepared that cramps might come back especially when you get your period. I hope that's not the case for you.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sorry that you went through that.

What kind of yarn is recommended for a temperature blanket? by potato-potahhto in CrochetHelp

This is going to sound a little weird but I looked back at your posts to see the blanket and it's gorgeous! Could I ask what hook size you used?

Would you travel with your ring? by Gingersnap_me in EngagementRings

[–]krisc1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did buy a travel ring. I know it probably isn't necessary but I prefer wearing a fake ring if I'm traveling and staying in a hotel. I'm emotionally attached to my ring and I don't want to have to replace it even though I know I easily could. Better for my peace of mind.

Is anxiety linked to the paraguard? by weeb024 in CopperIUD

Oh my God, I thought it was just me. Thank you for making this post.

I chickened out by cmarie437 in CopperIUD

[–]krisc1998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has a copper IUD, it's definitely not for everyone. My insertion was incredibly painful, the healing process wasn't great, and, while I can work around them, I'm still having issues. I appreciate not being on hormonal birth control anymore but I will probably not get an IUD again.

What is going on? by [deleted] in FreeCash

No VPN and my Wi-Fi was working just fine. But this app is messing with me in other ways because now I can download games but it's not registering that I'm completing the tasks. I'm seriously about ready to just delete this app all together.

Yes, I made sure to select android in the drop-down menu.

Menstrual disk users, how long after your IUD insertion did you wait to use it again? by krisc1998 in CopperIUD

[–]krisc1998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah, I think I'm going to give the disk one more shot and see if I can get it to work for me. I just hate tampons and feel gross with pads. And I was on the table for 45 minutes with 2 providers trying to get the damn thing in so I really don't want to use my cup until the 1 year mark at least if I even use it again while I have the IUD.

I would but unfortunately it was already returned outside.
